Towards Smart Port: An Application of AIS Data

A seaport is a dynamic environment which plays a crucial role in the global economy. It includes various activities such as transportation, logistic, fishing, rescue operations and protection of the environment against its destructive impacts that make tremendous challenges. In this paper, we investigate the smart port concept as the last generation of traditional ports reinforced with technologies such as Internet of Things (IoT). We propose an architecture for the smart port and discuss its different levels as well as its challenges. In addition, we introduce CLASSE project which is a step forward in making the port of Le Havre smart. The project utilizes Automatic Identification System (AIS) data as its main data source. Finally, we present some AIS analyses which could be the use cases and services of a smart port. These analyses show how the port is operating.
